If you can wait untill August you can get the Hifiman HE 350, if you can't wait that long then get the HD 558 and maybe do a really simple and easy mod so they sound 100% like the HD 598 and if you don't do that mod they will sound 95-97% the same as the HD 598.

Hi! 

I am looking to buy a pair of new headphones and it's price max is 140 euros. 

I mainly play games like witcher 3, Wolfenstein and fallout 4 and listen to music genres like electro, house (mostly monstercat) and a bit of old rock music (paradise city by guns 'n roses for example) 

 

Are there any strong recommendations? I've looked at the HD 558 which are 135 euros here but also heared other headphones online which are good. 

Also open backed headphones are my jam since I live in de countryside and my neighbour lives 100 meter away from me :P with a max of 10 cars a day that pass by and it is used for home use only. 

 

 

Thanks in advance ^-^

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.
